Metta Sutta
( Discourse on Loving-kindness )
U Nandiya
Once the Bhagava ( Lord Buddha) was staying at the Jetavana monastery in the pleasance of Anathapindika at Savatthi. A group of monks received permission from the Lord to meditate in a distant forest during the period of Buddhist Lent. Each of the monks took shelter under a big tree as a temporary residence and an engaged themselves intensively in the practice of meditation.
On account of the spiritual power of their meditation, the tree deities could not stay in their trees-abodes above the monks, so they had to come down to the ground. Realizing that the monks would spend the whole rainy season there, the deities were much annoyed. So they tried to scare the monks away during the night by harassing them in various ways.
How to Meditate For A healthy Mind And Body by Frank Iamin
Learning how to meditate is the same practice among many various cultures and religions. This stays true in every aspect of practicing meditation, from learning how to breathe properly, proper posture, when to meditate, picking the correct environment, planning your meditation and understanding our thoughts and emotions. When you are just learning how to meditate don’t worry too much about every little thing. Before you can begin to unwrap the many years of programming you will have to create within yourself a great desire and sense of urgency to want to change. It is necessary that you learn how to meditate the right way to get the most from your meditation experience.
“One who drinks deep the Dhamma lives happily with a tranquil mind.”
A brief explanation of a verse from the Dhammapada from Lord Buddha.
“One who drinks deep the Dhamma lives happily with a tranquil mind.”
The Dhamma means Holy Law, The Truth, the Way, the Ultimate Wisdom, True Nature, or you can call it God. The Dhamma is described here as if it was water. The holy teachings from Sages are fluent as water, clear as water, it satisfy’s the thirst of mankind. In the old testament, Christ, said “if anyone would drink from this water, he will never get thirsty again.”

Its like a cat and a ball of yarn
Thoughts come and go. They appear like a motion picture on the screen of your mind. Are the images real? No. They just seem real. They are like clouds that come and slowly gets blown away by the wind. But you have the power to make the thought go or stay a while and take a seat in your heart. If that thought stays, then you start to feed it energy, which makes it nice and fat. Then the thought decides it doesn’t want to leave, because now the thought says ” I am a part of you now, I am what you feel and believe.” Is it true? No. Better yet, a thought is like a ball of yarn. And you are the cat, sitting there at

Who is perfect?
Who is perfect? No one is, even if you have discovered your true nature, you will face challenges at times by ego. It is just like when the Buddha was confronted with mara or when Jesus was tempted by Satan, all people must face their demons once in a while in life. They do not leave, they remain inside of you. These are your neurosis’s you struggled with in the past and it is still here, dormant, sleeping waiting for the perfect moment to arise. These demons are our addictions or personal issues that like to torment us. So do we mess up at times in life? Sure we do. But the real question is, what do you do after you messed up? Do you beat yourself up? No.

Loving Mother Earth. O how beautiful Mother Earth is. It is OUR GIFT.
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world. ~Buddha~
The title of this recording is called “Never Give Up.” I talk about a crossroad I came across in my teenage years, when I contemplated on suicide during a horrible depression stage. In this video I am visiting my mothers house, which triggered my memory of this past event, after looking at the window I thought of jumping out of, which is the 5th floor. This memory only reminded me how far I got in life. I am 34 years old now,
